A writer in theory only 😎

She said that my selfish wish may already have been happening.

(But I--)

I don’t think the moment would ever come when this selfish wish would truly be fulfilled.

I kissed Kate on the lips in the middle of the lavender field.

Kate: “Mmn, Ellis…”

Changing the angle, I bit her lip and entangled our tongues.

When I opened my eyes slightly, I saw her clinging to me desperately, accepting my kisses.

Ellis: “Ahh, Kate, you’re so cute.”

Kate: “Nnngh!”

When I put my hands around the back of her head and deepened the kiss, Kate resisted slightly.

(Maybe she’s shy because we’re outside.)

Just as I’d expected, she spoke between kisses.

Kate: “Mmnn, not, mmm, here”

(There’s no one here but us, but…)

I had wanted her to enjoy the lavender fields until it was time to board the train, but

Ellis: “…I think my patience has reached its limit.”

Kate: “Huh, whoa, nngh!”

(I want to touch you right now.)

I had reached my limit, so I kissed her and started walking away.

She noticed the scent of lavender fading away and tried to open her eyes.

I continued kissing her regardless—

Kate: “Ellis, where are we?”

Finally, the rain of kisses came to an end, and Kate looked up, her eyes round.

Kate: “Oh…is it time for the train already?”

She seemed to have misunderstood something, so I smiled.

Ellis: “Nope, it’s not time for the train.”

Kate: “….Huh?”

Ellis: “I’m bringing you back to the inn now and we’ll check out in the evening.”

Kate: “What, why—”

She stared into my eyes, confused.

As if she noticed the heat in my eyes, her face started to turn red in surprise.

(So cute…)

Kate was so cute as she buried her face into my shoulder and sighed shyly.

Ellis: “I want you.”

When I said that and chuckled, she replied in a small voice.

Kate: “…we did a lot yesterday, though.”

Ellis: “Yeah, but I want to do it again today.”

I heard an embarrassed groan and I stroked her back.

Ellis: “Kate, can I be selfish?”

Kate: “Huh?”

Ellis: “Today is my birthday.”

I was taking advantage of her good nature, that wants to fulfill my selfish desires.

When I spoke in a deliberately whiny voice, Kate looked up and puffed out her cheeks—

Kate: “That’s not fair, Ellis.”

She kissed my lips.

The moment we arrived at the inn, we collapsed into the bed, kissing each other.

Kate: “Mnn, nngh!”

Kate welcomed my tongue into her small mouth and while she was engrossed in the kisses, I gradually took off her clothes.

When I untied the ribbon of her blouse and put my hands on her corset, her exposed breasts stood out.

Ellis: “Cute.” 9745

Kate: “Gahh”

When I pinched her nipple, which was begging to be touched, I began to hear her sweet sounds.

I played with it with my fingertips, occasionally pinching hard and rolling it around with the tip of my tongue, watching her reaction.

She was breathing shallowly with a red face and writhing cutely in frustration.

I suppose it was only natural that I would want to see her in a more disheveled state.

Kate: “Ellis, right there…”

Ellis: “Mmm, does it feel good?”

While teasing the tip of her breast, I pulled down her skirt with one hand.

I traced my finger along her underwear, and it quickly became wet.

Ellis: “Your underwear got wet right away.”

As I pushed her underwear aside, and stroked her wet folds, Kate’s body arched in shock.

Ellis: “Look, it’s getting puffy here.”

Kate: “Nnghaah”

Ellis: “The inside is already so wet, look, my fingers keep getting pulled in more and more.”

Kate: “Hey, don’t say that…gh!”

While rubbing her swollen bud, I buried one finger in her wetness.

I slowly inserted and removed it, creating an exaggerated noise, and Kate’s lips trembled in embarrassment.

I enjoyed the hot, slick place with one finger, then buried another inside her and began to move it vigorously.

Kate: “Aah, ghh, Haah!”

Letting out a sweet cry, she desperately tried to escape, but I grabbed her wrist and sped up the movement of my fingers.

Her insides tightly gripped my fingers and Kate’s body trembled as she collapsed against the bed.

She looked at me with a dazed, lewd face and tears in her eyes.

Kate: “…Ellis, you’re being kind of mean today.”

She pouted her lips and gave me a look of protest, but that only made me feel even hotter.

(I say mean things on purpose to get you riled up.)

But, I wanted to keep that a secret.

(Because I love seeing you get worked up by my words at random moments.)

To be honest, I felt like those moments were becoming fewer and fewer.

I put my hand on my belt and touched her cheek.

Ellis: “Do you hate how mean I am?”

The answer was already obvious.

Kate: “…No matter what kind of person you are, Ellis, I love you.”

Holding her with her arms around my neck, I pressed my tip into her wetness.

Ellis: “Yeah, me too.”

Ellis: “I love you too.”

The heat that permeated our bodies didn’t subside until the sun went down.

Ellis: “Kate, hurry up, at this speed we won’t make it to the train.”

Kate: “I-I know!”

We’d been making love in bed for over half the day,

Now we were walking quickly to the station to catch the last train to London.

But Kate’s steps were unsteady and she clung to my arm while desperately trying to move her legs.

Kate: “…It’s not like it’s because of what you did to me, Ellis.”

She muttered quietly, a sulky expression on her face.

Remembering the fact that we had been together just moments ago, my body grew hot again.

(I thought I did it a lot, but now I want her again.)

(And it’s all because Kate is so cute.)

I felt it was all her fault, the way she unconsciously looked at me with a provocative expression.

I kept pushing the responsibility onto her in my mind and telling myself to be patient, be patient.

(When we get back to the castle, we’ll decorate the cake base that Kate hand I prepared together and feed each other.)

(After that, we’ll take a bath together, and then—)

It would be around midnight before I would be stripping her again.

(But I think it might be too much for Kate, so we’ll just do it once…)

Kate: “…Come on!”

The voice brought me back from my thoughts and I looked up.

Before I knew it, Kate was walking one step ahead of me, holding my hand.

Though her steps were unsteady, she gathered the strength and walked ahead, the sunset dyeing her back red.

Ellis: “Kate.”

Kate: “What?”

When I casually called her name, Kate turned around and smiled at me.

Her gentle smile was so beautiful.

I embraced her, overcome with a vague anxiety that she would vanish with the twilight.

Kate: “Ellis?”

Kate tilted her head quizzically in my arms, but I just held her even tighter.

Ellis: “I love you.”

When I told her that, she giggled, seemingly unaware of my anxiety.

Kate: “I love you too.”

The distant sound of a bell signaled that there wasn’t much time left until the train would depart.

I picked her up and kissed her on the cheek.

Ellis: “Hold on because I’m going to run.”

Kate: “Okay.”

I ran at full speed, so that the twilight couldn’t take her away from me.

(I want to be involved in everything that makes you happy.)

(I want all your happiness to come from me.)

I became selfish because of you.

——Darius' POV——

[BLACK]

No matter the day, the words "I love you" were always empty.

[GERMANY - THRONE ROOM - NIGHT]

The emperor sat upon the throne, eyes empty and saliva dripping from his mouth, as he stared off into space.

Darius: Hello? World to the emperor?

German emperor: Ugh…ah…

Darius: Maybe I went too far? (´• ◡ •`)

I placed my hand on the emperor's shoulder, to which he quite literally jumped up and gritted his teeth.

German emperor: I'm sorr…please, stop already…

Darius: Ahh, what a relief. And here I thought the torture went and broke your mind too.

Darius: It would sure spell out trouble if you couldn't even speak anymore.

Darius: Because I'll need you to protect that throne thoroughly while I'm not around.

——Narration——

[GERMANY - DARK THRONE ROOM - NIGHT]

When I cracked down on the nobles who opposed the reconciliation with England and ruled them over with fear, they did as they were told, just like that.

(And by that I mean I just showed them those miserable corpses of those who rebelled and told them, "This may or may not be you too.")

But it was more than enough against those humans who cared only for themselves.

Though they had come to gauge my mood, it would be bothersome if they acted up again,

so I thought to destroy any possibility of it altogether…and ended up killing around half of them.

[GERMANY - BURNING BARREN WARLAND - DAWN]

Last week, I killed every single one who was involved in the assassination plot against me and burned all the corpses in what remained of a battlefield.

(That sure stank…)

When human bodies burnt, they gave off a rather unique smell.

Maybe because so much blood had been shed here, so the scent of death mixed with the earth,

but it stank so bad I could hardly bear it, and after watching the mountain of corpses burn down I returned as quickly as I could.

——End narration——

[GERMANY - THRONE ROOM - NIGHT]

After that, to tie up any loose ends, I held around a week-long torture session with the emperor.

I beat it into his skull to never again rebel against me, and that I was above him.

Darius: You can't even sleep at night without my predictions, and yet to think you'd try to kill me off.

Darius: Now who might've put that idea in that little head of yours? Ahh, no need to answer me. I already know the answer.

Darius: I take it you've got wind of the revolt that happened in France and got scared, didn't you?

Darius: "Who knows when I'll be next? The throne I've kept might get taken away." Is that right?

As I murmured these words in the emperor's ear, all the blood drained from his face.

Darius: Cursed ones are a danger. They shouldn't be left alive.

Darius: You've ended up thinking this way, right? I get it, you just get swayed at the drop of a hat, you.

Darius: You're so scared of us now, since you can no longer treat us Cursed ones as tools, no?

The emperor trembled as he nodded, what little dignity had been left in him now no longer.

He had fell to be a mere, inferior human.

Darius: Your biggest mistake was not killing that servant you laid your hands on on a whim sooner.

Darius: If only you killed her while she was still in the palace. That's what I would've done if I were you, at least.

Darius: I'd never do something so foolish as to let the one who might have my own child out of my sight.

Darius: If not killing her, you should have kept her where you could see her.

My grip on his shoulder tightened, and the emperor winced.

The welt that spread beneath his luxurious clothes must have hurt. But I purposely tightened my grip.

It was as though I was returning the favor for how I was treated in the past.

Darius: You won't ever try to kill off your dear son again, now would you?

Darius: If you do try again…I may end up killing your kids then.

German emperor: —!!

I whispered the names of all his legitimate children in his ear.

Darius: I have no attachment to my half-siblings whatsoever, so I have no problem doing whatever to them.

Darius: That includes slitting their necks and tying them to the castle walls, or cutting their bodies into pieces.

Darius: Ahh, maybe I can sell your daughter off to lascivious noble? And I guess I could also dunk them in formalin too? (˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)

The emperor shook his head over and over. He was much like a child, shaking his head while tearfully shaking.

Darius: Hehe, scary, isn't it? But don't you worry. If you do aaall your duties, I won't do those things.

Darius: So continue sitting on that throne. That's your most favorite spot, isn't it?

I thought it really was about time to take that throne, but there was something I realized from this incident:

Now was not the time.

(I haven't even gotten more family, and there are still rebelling forces out there…)

(Not only that, the trust between us and England isn't the best now, so I'd like to first make amends to that.)

So, while thinking now was not the time, I turned my gaze to the pitiful king, who was so drawn to the throne.

(I've thought this before, but how in the world am I related by blood to this thing?)

No longer in the mood to deal with such a foolish human who thought nothing but his own position,

I signaled to my subordinate and turned on my heel.

Darius: I'll leave some of my family here, in case anything happens.

Darius: If you do anything rebellious again, it'll be more torture for you. Best to keep that in mind.

(I want to go back right away and hug Kate.)

When I thought of her, waiting for my return, I found myself wanting to go back right this moment.

I was about to leave in a brisk pace, but then I realized I forgot to say my usual line.

Darius: Hey, "Father."

The emperor gulped. He looked exhausted to the bone, to which I gave a bright smile.

Darius: Do you love me?

It was like the emperor had turned into a puppet as he moved his slack lips.

German emperor: Yes…I love you.

As usual, his words were empty, and while I couldn't help but laugh at its hollowness—

Darius: I love you too. (ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ)

[BLACK]

—I, too, returned that empty "I love you".

[PALACE - DARIUS' ROOM - NIGHT]

Kate: Mm…Darius…

I hugged Kate on the bed and put my nose in the crook of her neck.

(…I remembered something I didn't want to.)

While enjoying a meeting with my lover, I ended up remembering the time I went back to Germany for some time and narrowed my eyes in displeasure.

But when I saw Kate, teary eyed in embarrassment, I grabbed her arm and pressed my nose on her armpit.

Kate: S-stop this already, please…!

Apparently, all living beings had an individual with which they shared good compatibility.

And the easiest way to tell this— was through body scent.

If the scent was pleasent, and made one want to smell it more, that seemed to indicate good compatibility.

(I couldn't understand that before, but now I know.)

Kate's body scent was addicting.

She wasn't wearing any perfume, and yet she always gave off a sweet scent like milk.

When I asked Nica and Ring, they said she didn't give off such a scent,

so it was probably something only I could pick up on.

Anyhow, I felt calm whenever I took in this scent— and at the same time, I wanted so badly to make love to her.

Kate: Why are you smelling me though…?

Darius: Because you smell good. And it turns me on.

Darius: To me, your body scent is like a natural drug.

Her neck, armpit, behind her ears, chest, back, the back of her legs— and between them too.

I gave her pleasure as I took off my clothes, and as we got more in the mood the sweet scent between her legs grew more strong.

And that tempted me like a bee was to the nectar of flowers.

Kate: No…mmm—

I took a whiff of her soaked spot as I teased it with the tip of my tongue.

The fragrance grew more thick, and Kate's breathing more shallow.

[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]

Kate: Wahh—!!

Her body bent as she let out a sweet voice, reaching her climax.

Taking in the scent of sweat, I once again put my nose to her armpit and licked the droplets there, as if sensing them with my tongue.

(Sweat is supposed to have a more strange taste, but Kate's is sweet.)

I was lost in my thoughts, but I came to when I heard sniffling.

Kate: I'm…going to take a bath now…

She seemed on the verge of exploding from embarrassment, and seeing her reddened and tearful face, a sadistic urge ran through me—

And my heat throbbed, feeling as though it would burst.

Darius: No can do. Your scent will vanish then, won't it?

Kate: But, licking my sweat was mean—

Darius: You mean your sweet, delicious sweat?

Kate: Why though, I know you don't eat sweet things that often…!

(Just because I said it's sweet doesn't mean it's actually sweet though…)

It seemed Kate was misunderstanding something here.

But her bewildering words were all the more adorable, and I planted a kiss on her eyelids.

Darius: You smelled nice because you're so cute, so I wanted more.

[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]

Kate: Huh…ahh—!!

The moment Kate let her guard down, I penetrated inside.

Her thoughts were robbed in an instant as she let out a gasp, unable to resist.

I held her tightly, my skin repeatedly slapping on hers.

Her sweet scent grew more thick as she chased her climax, spreading through the room before I knew it.

And as I took in that addictive scent only I could pick up on,

[BLACK]

I couldn't contain my excitement as I became lost in myself, thrusting over and over.

[PALACE - DARIUS' ROOM - NIGHT]

After I pulled out my heat at last, I buried my face in her neck in the midst of my panting.

(…I feel calm, and safe.)

As I caught my breath while wrapped in Kate's scent, I raised my head as I felt her fingers comb through my hair.

My eyes met with her gentle smile, still disheveled.

Darius: Do you love me?

I averted my eyes, asking on a whim that usual line I had said countless times before.

But after blinking, Kate gave me a happy smile.

Kate: I love you.

No matter the day, the words "I love you" were always empty.

Kate: I love you, Darius, more than anyone in this world.

But now, those very words thrown at me were filled to the very brim with a single person's love—

Darius: I…

Those same words were on the verge of spilling out from my mouth, but then I bit them back, and Kate's lips met with mine.

Kate: I know.

Kate's smile then was more beautiful than anyone in the world; she was almost like a goddess.

(I…have always wanted a place to return to.)

Be it to a warm home, an accepting family, to a fulfilling "I love you."

No matter how many of my kind I saved, or how much family I gained—

The thing I had always lacked was filled by a single person.

Kate: I love you…in the same way you feel for me.

I felt a prickle in my nose from those true words of love.

[BLACK]

At long last— I had a place to return to.

[BLACK]

Going out with Darius Vogel meant keeping calm, no matter what met the eyes.

[PALACE - DARIUS' BLOODIED ROOM - MORNING]

Darius: You were the one who said you'd wait for me without falling asleep, and yet not only were you out like a light, to even lock the door from the inside…

Darius: I was a step away from being locked out of my own room. Goodness, how are you going to make this up to me?

Kate: …Umm, can I ask what happened here?

Last night, Darius went on a mission, telling me to watch over the room as I saw him off.

He had told me to ensure all the doors were locked, and I even locked the door from the inside as I awaited his return.

But then my eyes ended up succumbing to drowsiness…and when I woke up again, blood was splattered all over the room.

(…No, really, what happened?)

I rubbed my eyes as I propped myself up, hugging him as he sat on the bed.

Kate: Welcome back, are you hurt?

Darius: I'm fine. The only life lost here is that lock.

Before me, I saw was what used to be a lock, now in a pulverized state and scattered about the floor.

(He must have pushed and forced his way in…)

From my hold, I could pick up a metallic scent, his body temperature ever so slightly higher than normal.

Kate: You worked hard. And I'm sorry for falling asleep.

Darius: You can say that again. I ended up getting interrogated about damage of the palace's property again.

The morning sun filtered into the room.

I was probably used to the sight of blood at this point, because I didn't flinch nor waver at the splotches scattered around.

——Narration——

[ENGLAND - BEACH SHORE - NIGHT]

Last night, Darius went to a shore of England to "purge" the Germans who were unlawfully occupying land.

They were from an organization that was selling out drugs, listed as one of Crown's targets to condemn.

Beyond them, too, were nobles from Germany who were pulling the strings—

but for fear of causing an international problem, Crown had asked Vogel to condemn them.

Vogel had been trying to do so in light of a different incident, too, so while they had readily agreed to the request…

——End narration——

[PALACE - DARIUS' BLOODIED ROOM - MORNING]

(He had said the plan was to crack down on them…but ended up killing them.)

The cruel devil who hugged me back would often return soaked in the blood of others.

Killing them because he didn't like them, because they were inferior, or they were in the way…

This was hardly the first time he reached the limits of cruelty to the point his pure white clothes became red.

At first, I had been surprised at that, but after seeing it over and over since we had become official, my senses had since dulled,

to the point it wasn't worth batting much of an eye at that now.

(It doesn't change the fact that lives were lost…)

But Darius' tendency to kill people off had gotten a bit better.

I remembered Nica saying as if it were yesterday that he had gained a tiny bit more reason ever since he started going out with me,

and before I knew it I couldn't help but feel more and more happy at that fact.

Darius: …You were thinking of some other man just now, weren't you.

Kate: Huh—

I raised my head at being called out, my eyes meeting with his sour gaze.

Darius: Whenever you look distant while touching my hands or body, you're always thinking about something else.

He grabbed my shoulders and pulled my body back.

Darius looked intently at me before his fingers touched on my chest.

Darius: What a bad girl you are, thinking about others when I'm right here before your eyes. Should I make you my pet again?

Kate: Huh…wah—

He pushed me down on the bed, my nightdress slipping off.

With a glance upon my bare chest, he pinched the tips with his still-gloved fingers and rubbed my breasts.

Kate: Mm— wait…

Darius: Why should I? You like it when I do this, do you not?

Kate: Ah—

I let out a gasp at the more intense sensation from the cloth rubbing on the tips.

He knew I was weak to being touched through clothes, so with a satisfied expression he traced his fingers along my skin.

Darius: Here I returned, exhausted, and yet my dear lover wouldn't even come and greet me.

Darius: And thinking about another man upon waking up, too…woe really is me.

Kate: Ah…ngh…

He pushed down on the sensitive bud in between my legs, rubbing it up and down as if polishing it.

Heat spread across my stimulated bud, anticipation spilling out from inside.

And the moment Darius saw that— he grabbed both my legs, his face nearing in between them.

Kate: W-wai—

Darius: Stay still if you don't want to get bitten.

[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]

Kate: —!!

He opened his mouth wide, and started eating me out.

That alone was enough to make me lose myself, but then his tongue also was thrust inside…

and my vision went completely white— and my legs immediately squeezed around his head.

Darius: You really like getting eaten out here, don't you.

Kate: Noo…don't…talk there…mm—

Darius: I happen to like eating here too. Your scent is so much stronger here, it feels like I can taste it.

Kate: —!

While sucking on my bud, he took off his gloves two of his fingers buried inside.

Pleasure shot up as they pushed in, as if finding my weak spot.

I could no longer think of anything.

Kate: Hu…ngh…uh—

As I tried to hold in my voice at the soft stimulation, he looked at me with enraptured eyes.

Darius: I don't remember saying to hold your voice in.

Kate: Huh…ngahh!?

He didn't seem to like that I was holding my voice in, because his fingers kneaded harder inside.

The sudden pleasure surprised me, and while I grabbed his head and tried to pull him away— my hips jumped the moment he bit down on my bud.

[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]

Kate: Ahh—!!

I felt the pleasure more strong than just before, and as my hips shifted, the sheets became wet.

With little energy left, my body sunk down into the bed, when Darius brought his cock to my soaked area.

Darius: So, who were you thinking about? And your answer will decide if I make rough love with you the whole day.

I reached my hand out, my mind fuzzy.

Darius held me up, brushing his heat along my entrance as if to probe for an answer,

but even that sensation was like poison to me now…and I opened my mouth while resisting the urge to come.

Kate: About you, Darius…

Kate: I was thinking about how Nica said you gained a bit more reason…

Kate: And I was happy at being able to change you…

When I came clear to him, Darius pushed the tip in.

An obscene, wet sound resounded, and I gasped at the heat, hotter than normal, in me.

My eyes met with his honey-colored ones, filled with passion…

Darius: You're right on that. I figured you wouldn't like it much if I killed too much, so I found myself holding back more.

Darius: You really are something to be reckoned with, to change my thoughts.

Kate: Darius— nnngh!?

All of a sudden he thrust inside, causing my body to bend back.

The more calm air went out the window as he held my waist tight and started to thrust in and out, as though boring a hole through my body—

Darius: That aside, though, you were still thinking of Nica, so rough it is.

Darius: Do your best, Kate.

(—That's too much…!)

[BLACK]

There was still that metallic scent, but at this point I couldn't pay it much heed.

——Neutral POV——

[LONDON - CAFE TABLE - DAY]

At a café just near the post office, Kate was chatting with the coworkers she hadn't seen in a long time.

Bright letter carrier: To think you not only went to the palace, you also got a boyfriend from Germany.

Kind letter carrier: I was worried since you disappeared all of a sudden…but from the look on your face, it seems like you had a good time. I'm glad.

Kate was surrounded by two women, their gazes filled to the brim with interest.

Kind letter carrier: So? What's he like?

Kate: …A devil who's like an angel, I suppose?

Kate: Someone who binds others to a hierarchy at the drop of a hat…or treats a person like a pet, and the like?

Kate: Ah, and he gets sulky quite often too. He…also finds rather strange things amusing too.

Bright letter carrier: …He seems, um, rather strange.

Her coworkers exchanged looks.

The Kate that they knew was gentle and bright: an endearing woman who put her all in what she did.

But the one in front of them now had a different air about her.

Despite the oddities they noticed, though, Kate happily clapped her hands together with a smile.

Kate: But I love him, very much.

Seeing that smile elicited a sigh from her coworkers, thinking they must have had imagined things, when they heard a voice calling her name.

Darius: Kate.

Kate: Darius!

A smile blossomed on Kate's face as she ran to the angelic man.

Kate: Let's meet again sometime!

She left with her lover, who had come to pick her up, and her coworkers stared after her for a while…

Bright letter carrier: Is it just me, or is there something a tad off despite how happy she looks?

Kind letter carrier: What a coincidence— I feel the same.

Just then, the man's honey-colored eyes turned to the two.

They were so cold, it was hard to believe such a gaze came from a human. The two stiffened from being pierced with that sharp gaze, and they finally realized the cause of that feeling.

The adorable Kate that they knew was no longer.

[BLACK]

—For she had fallen into the hands of the devil.

While at a dinner party that his being thrown with Crown and Vogel, Euren literally appears out of nowhere and randomly starts talking.

MC is like who tf is this? ( ╹ -╹)?

However, everyone at Crown and Vogel knows Euren. He exchanges information with them, sees them at auctions, etc. Nica uses him as a source from time to time. He went to school with Jude and is rich. He immediately rapid fires questions to the MC about dating him, etc. Like, he is over the top lol.

Enters beastie boy Zane who hits Euren on the head, and rebukes him. Boy is just glaring daggers and huffing testosterone. Crown is aware of his existence and him being a member of Libra as well. Zane pulls Euren away and after the dinner, Victor asks to speak with the MC. Darius invites himself as well.

Libra is an independent international organization made up solely of the cursed, typically, those who are outcasts by society. Headquarters are in France, but they have bases around the world. Apparently, they offer charity to cursed ones and help them judge and resolve disputes. They also kill other cursed ones. Now, they are in England but no one knows why.

A little later, the MC has the night off (I believe is what was said), she is out for a stroll and spots William, Jude and Ellis in the shadows. They are on a mission to condemn some nobles at a dinner party, and she decides to tag along.

When they arrive, the dining room is filled with corpses. Men and women seemed to be killed each other while kissing. That's when Mr. Almost Too Big To Fit Into My Screen entered, Lucien. William and Lucien basically questioned each other, the atmosphere (also we have new music) was TENSE. William and Lucien knows each other, Jude and Ellis don't know him at all. It said that the briar boys were eyeing him distrustfully.

Anyway, Jude says since the targets are dead, he was going to leave. That's when Euren suddenly speaks up in a very suspicious tone, telling his senpai to stay and chat. He also starts being too much, and Lucien tells him to go away if all he is gonna do is chat because he is annoying. Zane appears at the same time as well.

Apparently, they were all watching the people kill each other. William questions directly why they are in England and Lucien tells him he is here to do what needs to be done and that's it. Then he takes an interest in the MC, Zane and Euren do as well.

That's when all three Crown boys step in front of the MC to protect her. Euren notes this, and Zane thinks "that woman" should be investigated. Lucien tells them to drop it.
